Speed figures: These are last week's 20 fastest stakes winners
Silver Knott's win Saturday in the Grade 2 Bowling Green earned him a 107 Brisnet Speed Rating, the highest among last week's stakes winners.
The 4-year-old gelding led at every call of the 1 1/8-mile turf race at Saratoga and won by 2 1/2 lengths as the odds-on favorite. The win, with Flavien Prat riding for trainer Charlie Appleby, brought Silver Knott's record to 3-for-3 this year. He also earned a 103 Beyer Speed Figure.
The highest Beyers of the week, 105, went to The Chosen Vron for his repeat win in the Bing Crosby (G1) and Nakatomi for his win in the Alfred G. Vanderbilt (G1).

The Chosen Vron got a 105 Brisnet rating for his victory, which was his sixth in a row and the 14th in his last 15 starts, a string broken only by a fifth-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
Also receiving a 105 Brisnet rating, along with a 103 Beyer, was Fierceness, who maintained his win-lose pattern with a score in the Jim Dandy (G2) over Sierra Leone.
